- Description:
-
- Frank is a 'non-intelligent' language learner, that is is to say, he doesn't
- learn much about sentence construction and punctuation. He does, however,
- attempt to learn word order. For instance, if you were to type 'Hello Frank'
- at the You> prompt, Frank would learn that 'HELLO' (All words are automatically
- converted to upper case) can start a sentence, and 'FRANK' can follow 'HELLO'
- and end a sentence.
-
- If this was the only thing you ever entered at the You> prompt (assuming no
- vocabulary was autoloaded) then the only thing Frank could say in response
- would be 'HELLO FRANK' followed by '.', '!', '?' etc.
-
- Version 3.00 sports these great features:
-
- - Runs in a 100% wimp environment
- - Supports !Help
- - New method of storing vocabularys in memory
- - No 'string too long' errors when the vocabulary hits around 200 words
- - Word linkage frequency can be taken into account when Frank makes a sentence
- - Make/break links from word to word
